Elders (65+) Therapists in San Francisco, CA 94109

"Feelings and thoughts, at times, may be difficult to manage. Anxiety, depression, painful entanglements, behavioral issues, and the lingering effects of damaging experiences can exhaust us. They may also interfere with relationships and affect behaviors. Finding meaning in difficult emotions and life events can be very helpful. My hope is to provide understanding and insight that creates a safe relationship and develops a sensible model for people to discover potentially destructive patterns, what really matters to them, and how one can live a more creative, flexible, and full life."

"Therapy is about helping you with your unique challenges. Supporting you over the short or long term.

"My approach is best described as interactive, personable, nonjudgmental, and aimed at bringing about change that's both meaningful and real. I tend not to view people's issues or concerns as a form of pathology or neurosis, but rather as particular problems in living. I see each person as genuinely unique, and so avoid cookie-cutter approaches. My role is to help individuals and couples work through problems as effectively and efficiently as possible, in a way that builds confidence, self-respect, hope, and, ultimately, a fresh way of living life."

"As a psychologist, my goal is to assist my clients in achieving and implementing real-life solutions to real-life problems. I bring over 30 years experience both in private practice and the San Francisco community mental health system. Over these years, I have developed a common sense approach to problem solving, where together we examine personal beliefs and attitudes about self, life, and current difficulties. When appropriate and without blame, we explore family history and how it relates to today's thoughts & behaviors."

"To suffer is to be in psychological pain. We know in our heads that it's not a crime or unfortunate personality defect to suffer. We work hard to achieve our goals and seek a healthy life balance. Yet, for many of us, it's our hearts that override what we think, what we do and what we believe. We try to fix ourselves, adjusting our approach, our attitude, and our attention. But suffering doesn't care about what we do, how we appear, what's nice or perfect. Suffering responds when we are honest, in our own words, not only in the private recesses of our minds but out loud, in a safe and trusting conversation. "

"I work with those currently in a relationship--and those who would like to be in one--but who've found the road is a bit rocky.
If you're a couple stuck in painful patterns, --or if you're single and attracted to the wrong kind of partner --or find that you tend to "settle" because you lose hope of ever finding the right one for you...I can offer you a personalized, effective, satisfying approach, a way to stay true to yourself and yet be vibrantly open to the loving intimacy you seek."

"I see therapy as an adventure with one's self. My strength as a therapist is to help you take personal risks in order both to discover and to become a whole person. We all need support and empathy to become who we are meant to be. Therapy should be a comfortable environment where your own wisdom is respected and built upon. The goal is to integrate your body, mind, and spirit. Adult ADD, support for psych med withdrawal, and GLBT issues are a specialty, but all are very welcome."

Being stuck with deep seated patterns often continue to cause us pain and suffering and my hope is to be able to create a safe warm environment for people to explore what aspects of their past may be getting in the way of their present and future. I work in a collaborative fashion, hoping to help people find their truth."
